When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.

When, for instance, you are going with your opponent before a magistrate, on your way to the court do your best to be quit of him; otherwise he might drag you before the judge, then the judge will hand you over to the bailiff of the court, and the bailiff throw you into prison.

Denn wenn du mit deiner Gegenpartei vor die Obrigkeit gehst, so gib dir auf dem Wege Mühe, von ihr loszukommen, damit sie dich nicht etwa zu dem Richter hinschleppe; und der Richter wird dich dem Gerichtsdiener überliefern, und der Gerichtsdiener dich ins Gefängnis werfen.

Pues cuando vas al magistrado con tu adversario, procura en el camino librarte de él; porque no te arrastre al juez, y el juez te entregue al alguacil, y el alguacil te meta en la cárcel.

Pois quando fores com teu adversário à autoridade, procura te livrares dele no caminho, para que ele não venha a te levar ao juiz, e o juiz te entregue ao oficial de justiça, e o oficial de justiça te lance na prisão.

Quando fores com o teu adversário diante do magistrado, esforça-te para resolver o problema com ele no caminho, para que ele não te arraste ao juiz, e o juiz te entregue nas mãos do carcereiro e o carcereiro te jogue na prisão.
